location : shanghai, china.
So this is another chinese city that we visited the last time we went for business tour. And of course we did stayed an extra 2 days than what we needed just to have a look at how shanghai is grown into a super city. I'm sure many of you have been to shanghai and, or, i'm sure you have heard about shanghai, therefore, highly probable that you know what i am talking about when i say that this is one of the few, awesome cities that exist on the world today (of course singapore is one of them, hehe). For a guy who is holding a camera like myself, and someone who love to shoot at random things that move on the street, this is like heaven for me. i am sure if i stay long enough in this city i will have many interesting shots that i can take home with me. On top of that, this city breaths history, its full of it and realised how history has made this city into what it is today. Its heritage and everything that come with it is just simply amazing. Its one of those city you would want to have a piece of for yourself. maybe one day if i have enough money i will surely not mind to move into this city and live here. well, talking is boring, please stay tune i will post more pictures, (maybe i will have more that 12 shots this time around) yay!!
Interesting how they just had to change the blood around his muzzle to slime. But either way, his breath is the least of your worries if he's eating you.
Funny, creative & interesting glitch variations from my Springfield sign with Moe smuggling panda bear :)
Fur Rondezvous (Rondy) is an Anchorage tradition - I can't remember how many I've been to - yes, they are corny and goofy, but so Alaskan. I love it here - it's hard to picture being anywhere else. Anchorage and Alaska are so freaking cool - what great people! Who else shows up to race in a superhero outfit at 0900 when it is 15 degrees? The runners and faces in the crowd were so gracious to shoot with - if you know any of them, please fell free to tag them for me. The parade is a bit wacky and the other events are so cool. Fur Rondy lasts all week so expect to see more dull and boring photos here!
These 8 shots are currently some of my most interesting according to the Flickr interestingness algorithm and the Scout tool from fd's Flickr Toys. The pictures have all made it to the Flickr top 500 interestingness list for the day they were uploaded.
1. Ansigt (grøn version), 2. Sundby Gasværk #4, 3. The Tears #7, 4. Sonic Youth #5, 5. Et hundeliv?, 6. Garbage live i KB Hallen #5, 7. Udsigt fra St George's Castle #5, 8. Blue Foundation live
Strangely this recent shot didn't make the hitlists even though it is number one on my own "internal" Favorites, Comments and Interesting top-lists?
The "poster" was made with Scout Tool.
We were walking around near the old WOrld trade Center area..when i could not stop staring at this building! the color and everything was so unusual..it was extremely skinny (lol). Apparently it is an apartment building...
NYC is full of surprises..
I played with the exposure and contrast btw..i'm loving the proofing n editing side to photography! u can make the shot tell the story u want it to..
Not all of them are what _I_ would call interesting... but hey... each to their own I suppose...
Thanks for the idea, Norby (http://flickr.com/photos/norby/81931420/)
Kudos to and Created with fd's Flickr Toys.
I find this quite interesting.
Recently, a visiting acquaintance, a painter held in such regard as to be hung in national galleries, made complimentary remarks about my growing of pink Dianthus. Her admiration reflected not so much my horticultural finesse but how the pink represented certain sentiments in Renaissance painting. Oh, I said, as the cracked water jar at the well symbolised loss of innocence? This, she said, was news to her but observed that the artistic temperament often put such things in the margin with little or no penetration into the physical world. She walks a fine line. We are alike while apart.
This jar of fläderkapris, elderberries preserved in the Swedish style to be like capers contribute somewhere between little and nothing nutritionally. Added in a small amount, a garnish atop a dish they add interest; a flavour contrast.
Across cultures and continents it is the same. Whether it is pap en sous at a braai, bombay "duck", a sambal, prawn "floss", capers themselves, that chopped parsley, truffle, dukkah, pangrattato, spezzi, chimichurri, ketjap, mustard, nước chấm, horseradish, wasabi, nam phrik, all the "rice pullers" under the Sun, all across the planet, whoever we are we put different things on our food to lift and excite our interest. In all of these things we are apart and yet alike; different and the same.
I find this quite interesting.
We have had storms the last few nights and have been getting some interesting cloud formations. This one goes up in a straight line and the line seems to coninue on the opposite horizon in an arc (see pic in comments) !DSC_8993
I had an interesting conversation with Jeff last week about complex post-processing. His final killer blow was "I definitely don't always want a photo-real look. Often, yes, but just as often I enjoy a "stylized" look - that's the art part of it . . . re-creating what you saw and felt in the moment . . . kind of like dramatized writing as opposed to stale reporting :)"
This point hit home. Specifically, for me, complex post-processing in this context is the steps beyond straight B&W conversion, exposure control, cropping, levels, curves, cloning and healing - stuff I consider to be part and parcel of taking pictures. I really mean moving into 'tricks' such as filters, weird colours, textures, cartoon HDR, toning etc. etc. Jeff suggested to me that I have a play and try a few things out. I think in the past I've only ever resorted to such 'tricks' when my source image is a poor one - attempting to use the tricks to 'rescue' it - and I wonder if this is part of the problem. I've done a bit of 'mucking about' with a few different images and here's the first thing I'm happy to post. Let me know what you think of the processing. If anyone is interested I'll post the straight version for reference.
This is a small part of a giant set of stairs in the garden at Upton House, a National Trust property in Warwickshire - the former home of Lord Bearsted the 2nd chairman of Shell. The garden has three main areas and one of these is a very impressive slope with stairs on one side. Growing in the cracks of the risers was a tiny clump of Aubretia - somehow at odds with the stark stone of the stairs. I'll try and get back in the summer and find out what the plant on the right is - no leaves makes it a bit tricky to identify!
I wanted to magnify the sense of insignificance of the Aubrietia in context of the harshness of its surroundings whilst celebrating its beautiful colour relative to the unrelenting stone.
What do you think? I'm interested in comments on the processing most of all, but composition thoughts welcome too...
The main reason I am on Flickr is to be inspired by other peoples work and receive constructive critiscm on my own, please leave me a comment - however small. Thanks
Swatch for a Ravelry forum post. Rather interesting stitch, so I am glad I crocheted a swatch. I think I would change a couple of details if making a garment, but just a couple little things.

The jagged rocks of these falls caught my attention. The water flowed over them in interesting ways. I was eager to get this photo before looking upstream for more and more falls.

An interesting connection point I found whilst experimenting with my Noble Team. It seems the lump on the side of both the Halo Sniper Rifle and the Combat LMG (Brickarms) fits into the hole in the back of the Spartan Armour (Brickforge). This is probably just a coincidence, but both weapons fit strangely well........

Tenative identification of the orange fungus Dacrymyces palmatus Orange Jelly fungus
Dacrymycetaceae Witch's Butter
although I think I will keep this as tenative as I do not know the substrate material.
The reason to know the substrate (what type of log this fungus is on) is described in www.ubcbotanicalgarden.org/potd/2005/04/dacrymyces_palm.php
"Tremella mesenterica may also be confused with members of the Dacrymycetaceae family, like Dacrymyces chrysospermus (formerly D. palmatus), due to their superficial resemblance.[12] Microscopic examination shows that the Dacrymycetaceae have Y-shaped basidia with two spores, unlike the longitudinally split basidia characteristic of Tremella;[21] additionally, D. chrysospermus is smaller, has a whitish attachment point to its substrate, and grows on conifer wood." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tremella_mesenterica
A further explanation Dacrymyces palmatus

The ladies wanted to visit the Pokeman Center - it sounded interesting. To me Pokeman is like a Kardashian - I wouldn't know one if it bit me but I went along. The Pokeman Center was hard to find but we eventually found it. It wasn't a big building (like Center implied); it was actually a store inside a mall (picture a small Disney store). At least it was fun walking around and pretending I was a Pokeman authority even if I'm still clueless!
After that we went in search of a Cosplay store and never found it but we did find a huge adult supply store. The stuff in there was totally bizarre!
I took these photos in Tokyo in April 2019.
Arriving In Lyon late in the day and it was raining. Our hotel was about one hour from Lyon so we didn't stop there and went straight to our hotel. We arrived in the dark and left the next morning in the dark to go back to Lyon. Most of the shots of Lyon are taken from the moving Coach.
Day 10 of our Cosmos tour, October 9, 2012 Lyon France.
Lyon, traditionally spelt Lyons in English, is a city in east-central France in the Rhône-Alpes region, situated between Paris and Marseille. Etymologically it relates to the Celtic God Lugoves, Lugh as does Laon and Leiden. Lyon is located approximately 470 km (292 mi) from Paris, 320 km (199 mi) from Marseille, 420 km (261 mi) from Strasbourg, 160 km (99 mi) from Geneva, 280 km (174 mi) from Turin. The residents of the city are called Lyonnais.
The population of Lyon is 484,344 (2010).Together with its suburbs and satellite towns, Lyon forms the largest conurbation in France outside Paris, with a population estimated to be 1,551,228 (2010); its overall metropolitan area was estimated to have a population of 2,118,132. Its urban region represents half of the Rhône-Alpes region population with 2.9 million inhabitants.[5] Lyon is the capital of this region, as well as the capital of the smaller Rhône département.
The city is known for its historical and architectural landmarks and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Lyon was historically known as an important area for the production and weaving of silk and in modern times has developed a reputation as the capital of gastronomy in France. It has a significant role in the history of cinema due to Auguste and Louis Lumière, who invented the cinematographe in Lyon. The city is also known for its famous light festival 'Fête des Lumières' which occurs every 8 December and lasts for four days, earning Lyon the title of Capital of Lights. Legend says that the Virgin Mary saved the city from the plague and, to thank her, a statue was built. On the day it was erected, the whole city was lit by candles that its citizens had put at their windows. The local professional football team, Olympique Lyonnais, has increased Lyon's profile internationally through participation in European football championships.
Economically, Lyon is a major centre for banking as well as for chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotech industries. The city contains a significant software industry with a particular focus on video games, and in recent years has fostered a growing local start-up sector. Lyon also hosts the international headquarters of Interpol, Euronews and International Agency for Research on Cancer. By some measures, Lyon is ranked 2nd in France as an economic centre and convention centre. Lyon was ranked 8th globally and 2nd in France for innovation in 2011 It ranked 2nd in France and 38th globally in Mercer's 2010 liveability rankings.
